Wolfram Alpha Includes US Sales Data

I see that Wolfram Alpha has now included some US retail sales data. I admit it has been some time since I have played with WA. I much like the interface, which is reminiscent of 'vector-stype' methods we set up for executives in the 1980s to allow them to manipulate and visualize data. The key then, as is now, was to have the right data available to allow a decision maker to do quick manipulations. What WA has done is a great start in a direction I want to see, but I need much more granularity and data options. There also needs a way to quickly include specific data from the organization as it becomes available.
